running hot, no heat in back, hot but soft hose, geyser.. all indicative of air in the system.. either from a 2 way leak.. allowing coolant to flow out, and air in, or.. worse yet, a bad head gasket allowing compression into the water jacket.. start looking for a coolant leak and hope...

it all depends on how the truck was "ordered" back in 2000.. mine was ordered with a 10k gvw rating, but DRW trucks start at 7k and go up to 12k gvw.. and more so when ordering packages for combined gvw while pulling, but like i said.. all depending on how deep the original owners pocket was who...

ok.. i have another one for you guys.. your opinions have grown to be more valuable than the local diesel "specialist" shop.. yah right.. lol... after diagnosing a failing PMD, ive ordered the beefed up Dtech.. should be here right after the weekend.. but.. 1) most important, would a...

hey guys.. i just order a sh*t load of stuff for my truck.. triple gauge pillar pod, gauges, 2 1/4" xover, 3" DP, 4" straight exhaust, no cat/muffler/resinator, marine injectors from pensicola (planning on GL-4 soon enough) but in the meantime till i get the cash flow up for heath...

thats one of the first things i did after i joined here, moved it to the bumper hole

i just called the local privately owned AP and told them the sizes i needed in grade 8, and yes.. they are actually 10.5 hardness due to the metalurgy of the metal when its that thick, or something like that.. who cares.. lol, :thumbsup: but the poor guys there took about 3 hours to find them...

yah.. its SSD's i cleaned everything up and the truck seems to be back to normal.. but i didnt get a chance to get it hot yet, driving around the block i dont think will cut it, so ill update again tomorrow when i can stretch it out some on the highway
